Anyone have the #CarlsChallenge chart? It’s probably too late for me to start it but I’m curious about the chart. Thanks! 😊

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard. After being lured out to the country he was beaten and tied to a fence and left for dead. For being gay.

I have a story about how his death impacted me, and it starts back in 1997, when I first moved from my birth city to Texas...

And they are very stylized. That’s different. It’s a heady mix of humor, style and gritty crime drama.

I had not seen one before with the dog angle. Seen plenty where the wife or girlfriend is killed.

I wonder how much it costs to start a small circus troupe? I would do seasonal or holiday themes. No animals, just cirque in artistry. Maybe it would be best to start it in Central or South America and book it across the US. Has anyone ever looked into doing something like this?

I’m aware of the criticism. There are some great songs with problematic lyrics. It’s case by case.
